Jack and Jane Learn To Read: A Month of Historic Children's Readers

More Info

Are you interested in literature and history? Then visit our Marathon City Branch in November, where we'll have a variety of historic children's books on display throughout the month!

Children's readers including McGuffey's Eclectic Readers, the Alice and Jerry series, Elson Basic Readers, Wheeler's Graded Readers, and Lights To Literature will be on display throughout the month. Patrons can look at and read from these antique books, which range in copyright date from 1879 to 1970. Come relive the books you read as a child or see what your parents or grandparents read when they were in school!

Patrons are also encouraged to join us for a special event on November 1 from 1-2 p.m., where attendees are asked to bring a book that they read when they were a small child and the memories associated with that book and learning to read.

This display is free and open to the public and will be available any time the Marathon City Branch is open throughout the month of November. For more information, call 715-443-2775.
